According to "easy inline" somehow when Firefox updated it included a Yontoo Layers add-0n, whatever that is, and that caused the problem. I have now managed to disable it so HOPEFULLY no more trouble AND I have bookmarked that page :-)

I know it's now SP advertising. I have had a look at other sites and this is the only one that it is happening on. I have also run my Malwarebytes/
Antivirus scan and there wasn't a problem.

These ads you are mentioning are not SparkPeople advertising. It appears you may have some malware on your computer that injects advertising into various pages that you are viewing.

You may be able to confirm this by visiting other pages to see if this same advertising appears... For more information on this malware, you might want to Google easy inline" for more information.

I use Firefox and DO have an add blocker, but it is like the word is a link to that add.

I have not had those appear.

What browser are you using? Do you have your pop-up blocker enabled?

Is it just me or are others now finding that the various posts have certain words in blue and with a couple underlines, and even if the cursor just hovers over it, a box appears - mostly with ads from easyinline advertising for Online workers to work for Amazon.com.

Not all posts have it.
